Monster Amp?? Check out these toroids!!

Claymore_5by5 · 14th March 2007, 05:42 PM

I've been reading a lot of posts from people chasing the ultimate Monster Amp.

Well, check out these toroidal transformers:

Monster Power!!!

They weigh 45 pounds each!!!

Something like this is way beyond my skills but somebody may be able to use them.

I don't think a 400 Hz Aircraft toriod transformer will work
well at 115 Vac 60 Hz..

I've heard 400 Hz variacs will work on DC also not at
115V AC too...

U can not used in 50 or 60Hz Networks.

Hi Steve, i don´t think 400 Hz will be better in DC-Circuts on ly a short moment.The Transformer will be burning or the fuse???

Inductive reactance XL = 2(pi)fL
where XL = inductive reactance in Wohms
(pi) = the mathematical constant 3.142
f = the system frequency in hertz (Hz)
L = circuit self inductance in henrys (H)

It is clear that inductive reactance increases with frequency, and for this reason the volt drop tables apply only to systems with a frequency lying between 49 Hz and 61 Hz.
